File Server

The repository contains an API for a simple file server and integration tests for the API.

Get started:

0. Install Docker
1. Start server (execute run.bat)
   • The step will run docker compose which will install MongoDb and run the API.
   • Note: if you have an issue with certificates on this step - try to run the solution in Visual Studio with docker compose (see below), it will install require certificate. After that run.bat will also work.
2. Make sure that the API is up and running (open: https://localhost:44348/swagger).
3. Run integration tests (execute test.bat)
   • At the end you will see path to test logs in your console

How to debug API with Visual Studio?

There are two options:

1. Without docker compose
   • Install MongoDb, or use MongoDB installed in section Get started (the config file already contains connection string for local database).
   • Set FileServer.Api as startup project.
   • Use one of two options.
   • Press F5.
2. With docker compose
   • Make sure that containers started in section Get started are stopped. (Otherwise you will have issues with containers during debug.).
   • Set docker-compose as startup project.
   • Press F5.

Where to find ApiKeys?

You can use any of ApiKeys from configurations to get access to the API. Note: enter a key prefixed with ApiKey for example ApiKey 123.

How to debug integration tests?

• Make sure that FIle Server API is up and running.
• Make sure that configurations contains proper URL to File Server API.
• Integration tests implemented based on SpeckFlow. So I would suggest you to install an extenstion for Visual Studio for better usage experience.
• You can find test scenarios in Feature folder
• Once the solution is opened in Visual Studio and built, you can run tests as standart unit tests. Test->Run ALL tests.

What was implemented?

• RESTful API for uploading/downloading documents and managing metadata.
• Web API returns meaningful HTTP status codes for all cases
• Server side caching
• Integration tests based on BDD SpeckFlow.
• Dockerfile with docker compose
• Configurable Logging for HTTP incoming requests
• Api versioning and correlation tracking
• Authentication mechanism based on ApiKey.
• There is no SPA client, but https://localhost:44348/swagger allows to upload/download documents and test all functionality available in the API.

What was not implemented?

• For large files, I would add an API which will allow to upload files in chunks.
• I would add health check endpoint.
